Abstract The characteristic X-rays from elemental or compound targets excited by energetic proton are quasi-monochromatic X-ray sources. The advantages of high line/ background ratio, controllable intensity as well as many available energies, make them suitable for applications in many important fields. The total mass attenuation cross sections of yttrium have been systematically measured by using this kind of X-ray source. The accuracy of experimental data has been improved to ±1%, which is much better than that of earlier results. The contributions of the coherent and incoherent scattering crees sections have been calcu-lated in accordance with the present experimental condition. And the total photoelectric cross sections have been obtained by subtracting the scattering cross section from the measured total cross sections. The com-parisons of our experimental results with the available data of earlier investigations as well as with the theo-retical calculations have been presented and discussed.

Altmetric calculates a score based on the online attention an article receives. Each coloured thread in the circle represents a different type of online attention. The number in the centre is the Altmetric score. Social media and mainstream news media are the main sources that calculate the score. Reference managers such as Mendeley are also tracked but do not contribute to the score. Older articles often score higher because they have had more time to get noticed. To account for this, Altmetric has included the context data for other articles of a similar age.
